Paris BNP Paribas Masters - Oct. 28-Nov. 3

[Denis]

There is no way Herbert is winning this, but it's good to see a new face.

Herbert's service motion somewhat resembles Fed's. Somewhat.

Definitely see that a bit alright. Very nice service motion. That second serve had a huge kick. Mighty stuff. Hopefully one to watch in the future.

 

[Denis]

The forehand is definitely not Federesque though lol

 

[Denis]

Kudo's to Herbert though for serving so well in such a match for the first time.

 

[Front242]

The forehand is definitely not Federesque though lol

Depends. 2013 Federer FH is atrocious most of the time :cry

 

[Denis]

It's a much smoother motion though compared to Herbert. He needs quite some time.

 

[tented]

Novak's BH at 3-3, 40-15 was amazing!

 

[Denis]

Its a bit of a lock. Novak doesnt have an answer against Herbert's serve and Herbert doesn't stand a chance in the rallies on Novak's serve.

 

[Front242]

Lovely point by Herbert just there.

 

[Moxie]

This kid's got nerve, I'll say that. Set points.

 

[Denis]

2 set points for Herbert.

 

[Front242]

His FH has been great this game.

 

[Front242]

Was actually thinking Novak might DF there. great serve though.

 

[Denis]

I hope that shook Novak awake.

 

[Moxie]

No chance the kid plays a better TB than Nole, though.

 

[Front242]

This kid has nerves of steel. Impressive.

 

[Front242]

Horrendous from Novak lol

 

[Moxie]

Well, classic behavior here would be that Herbert threw everything he had at Novak and then goes away. Let's see if he can keep his concentration up. He won't win, but he's got a big opportunity to make a statement.

 

[Denis]

Let's see what the kid is made of in the second set.

 

[Denis]

Hmmm, somehow I was secretly hoping the kid could hang in there. I hope he can improve further over the years, it was nice to see a fresh face. I don't recall seeing any this whole year. Except for that Russian kid.
